Easy Mid-century Walls

Running into the 1960s decade in the United Kingdom, design was picking up quickly and new ideas had begun to be adopted, albeit a little slowly.

However, a look at the sort of wall coverings that were on offer in this period reveals that many householders were choosing more conservative offerings rather than the new designs.

This wallpaper pattern could have come out of the decade before both in its motif and in its colours but there were many designs like this that were available in the shops and we assume were purchased. I have to say this wallpaper does have a clean and easy-on-the-eye look and I do have to be honest and say that it is a pattern that I quite like for that reason.

According to my notes, the colours are mustard and bottle green with a chocolate stroke while the background is the ever present and much-loved, mid-century magnolia.

If you would like to see larger versions of these designs and my other work then you can do so on my Flickr page, a link to which is here
